Abstract
null null This paper presents a new method to measure the crack resistance curve associated with the longitudinal failure of polymer composites reinforced by unidirectional fibres. Rather than using compact tension test specimens, the identification of the size-effect law of double edge notched specimens is used to obtain the crack resistance curve. Special emphasis is placed on the appropriate calculation of the stress intensity factor of the...
